Rescue in the works

Hi All:
There's a cache local to me that's been archived.. Thus far I have been in touch with the Maine Reviewer and thru info he sent me the owner has an email (thru the geocache contact system) pending.
I work for the landowners where the cache is located and they have given permission to revive the cache as long as the previous owner ok's it.
So I'm in a holding pattern waiting for responses.. It's a beautiful placement and I'd like to keep it up & available...
I'll post more as it progresses.
Due to health issues of the previous owner I am hesitant to offer details just yet.
Thanx all..JW

Create a new cache at the same spot. Waiting for someone who is not even able to verify his email is completely pointless.

If the cache has some history it may be worth saving. I had a hard time on one but evetually adopted it from the owner and I was able to preserve all the funny logs and history of folks who had been there before. I don't know about you but when I go to find a cache I read all the logs either before or after or both.

Why the cache has been archived? Is is missing? Then create a new cache. Is it still there? Why has it been archived then?

Hi JW, can you expand on this part? What does the the previous CO's health have to do with what's going on? Are you saying he may not be available for communication, in which case you won't be able to adopt the cache?
Are the landowners only amenable to reviving that cache or are they open to a new cache in the same location?
Or are you just posting that you have permission and plan to put a cache out (either adopting the original one or placing a new one of your own), but don't want to give the location?

Do you like how every sentence in this email was a question?
And that last one as well? Am I on a roll?
